Title
Stettin (now Szczecin), Poland: flea market in the ruins
Caption
Impromptu flea market in the ruins of
Stettin (now Szczecin), in Polish Pomerania, late 1945.
Everything was lacking in Poland, which had been devastated by the German and Soviet armies during the 2nd World War.
The overwhelmed faces of the inhabitants seen in this photo tell volumes about the profound destitution to which they were subjected.
